This is an idea I'm shamelessly stealing from @SiFSweetman and adapting for my own dark purposes - since a lot of people have likely reduced their usage of or outright abandoned Twitter for, well, a lot of good reasons, I figured that as a public service I would skim some of the cream off the top of my metric fuckton of daily porno retweets for those of you no longer subjecting yourself to the hated birdsite. I'm hoping this will be a fun way for me to revisit some of the stuff I enjoyed throughout the week, provide a little examination of what I like about each item, and maybe even expose some folks to a cool new artist or several!
Some notes/disclaimers:
- Not intended to be an exhaustive accounting of The Very Best Porn Art For All People! The selected works will very much be geared towards the tastes of a mid-30s straight cis guy. If you do your own porno roundup and let me know I promise to repost it!
- My tastes are RELATIVELY vanilla so I'm not anticipating there being too much that needs CWing but if you see anything you think needs a CW, drop a comment!
- I likely won't do this every single week because who has that kind of time, but I'd appreciate it if everyone could ACT as though I'm doing it every week and praise me accordingly.
- Si's weekly art roundups are a delight, both for the art itself and for his insight as a very good illustrator. I am not a very good illustrator or even any kind of illustrator at all. I'll be doing my best but please forgive me if the commentary tends to run more towards "hhhhnnnhh tity good".
I don't especially like how the site UI for posts with CWs hides the post's title, so I'll instead be hiding the art with a readmore and providing CWs in bold right above!
There Is Porn Below This Readmore! Look out!!!
CW: This roundup contains a couple instances of light blood and bondage.
The Technically SFW/Tasteful Lewd Bungalow
I make no bones about being one of this Earth's foremost Splatoon Simps, but I've got NOTHING on this cat. This dude has been creating the most detailed, loving Splatoon fanart since the days of the very first game, bringing in fashions, weapons, environments, and even iconography from the games in his signature penciled style. And also he really likes drawing all the girls with enormous hefty handfuls, which you really have to respect. Fair warning for anyone who goes looking for this dude's full-NSFW account: there's scat in it.
"Goth Jude for @suoiresnu" by Yasya
This is the first piece I've seen from this artist, but I'm certain it won't be the last (because, I'm, uh, following them now). Anyways, this piece is so much fucking fun, I'm losing my mind. Like, what a cornucopia! But even more than the level of attention to detail is how the overall composition doesn't feel crowded or busy. There's just enough of everything, and that's beautiful.
Chad energy off the charts in this one. Lewd artists, take note: in the right contexts, being able to convincingly render the way various fabrics drape, hang, crumple, and fold is roughly one thousand percent sexier than any level of mastery over rendering bodily anatomy.
"Wonder what she’s listening to." by PoundCake
This is one of my favorite pieces by PoundCake in a while, and that's saying something. The perspective is doing SUCH important work in this one, and the headphone cable is a wonderful touch that amplifies the overall energy of the pose by a full letter grade. Also my CHRIST but I would work that ass like a speedbag
"Lokka and her greenhouse." by Elena Skitalets
I think what I love most about this piece is how it would still be kind of pornographic even if the chesty green alien babe weren't in it. Look at all that fuckin FLORA, dude. You KNOW a total plant pervert drew that shit! But no for real the chesty green alien babe is also a real high point, I like all her various tendrils and that weird sternal crest is really doing it for me too.
The Dirty Nasty Sexual Act Gazebo
"Black Cat got Peter thwipped up pretty good." by ASS MODE
I'm not a big bondage or shibari guy, or even that much of a femdom guy, but I really do have to respect it sometimes. Like, fucking check out the attention to detail here! Peter's tan lines! The fact that the shibari's made of Spider-Man web! The perfection of the faces and delicacy of Felicia's hand placement! This shit fucking BOINKS, dude. You cannot tell me it doesn't boink.
"Secretary Maple!" (2 images through link) by CyanCapsule
Brother, let me tell you - CyanCapsule is the undisputed KING of the "I'm not a furry, BUT..." artists, and this is Exhibit A as to why. Gorgeous, eye-catching colors, terrific lines of motion, excellent use of furry anatomical quirks always. Plus did you know he's been developing his own porno VN? AND he's a sweetheart to boot!
God, I was SO stoked when I saw that Calm had uploaded a new piece in the past week. This dude produces some of the glossiest cum in the business like it's NOTHING. There's just so fucking much to love about this piece. The absolute JOY in the faces. The evocative poses. The deliciously bizarre alien backdrop!!! Calm is absolutely in a class of his own.
"Pleasing the giant fish lady. I was always disappointed we didn't get giant Mipha in Zelda BOTW." by The Happiest Cloud
Cloud out here earning her "size difference queen" title. One of the many fun things about size difference is that the smaller characters can use the larger characters like a fun jungle gym, and Cloud hasn't missed the opportunity to do just that with Zelda's playful positioning. I also really like Link's grip on the edges of Mipha's head-fin, and how being sized-up hasn't diminished Mipha's "blushing princess" vibe. Extremely skillful work!
"Atropa (The Phantom) and Christine" by Viscera
Viscera has one of the biggest brains in the business. Just FLAWLESS execution on this one. No notes.
